The Truth About Cheap Groundnut Oil: What You Must Know

Cost Breakdown (Real Scenario):

• 1 kg of groundnuts (peanuts) = ₹100
• To extract 1 litre of oil, you need approx 3.5 to 4 kg of groundnuts
• So raw material alone = ₹350–₹400
• Add costs for:
  • Wood pressing machinery & maintenance
  • Labour & electricity
  • Filtration & storage
  • Packaging (especially in glass or tin)
  • Transport & branding

Realistic Price for Pure Woodpressed Groundnut Oil:
₹500 to ₹600 per litre (minimum)

So How Are Some Brands Selling It for ₹250–₹300?

1. Adulteration:
   • Mixing with cheap oils like palmolein or refined oils
   • Adding chemical-based aroma to mimic groundnut smell
2. Extraction Method Misleading:
   • Using expellers or heat-extraction instead of true woodpressing
   • Claiming “cold-pressed” but heating during process to get more yield
3. Using Inferior or Spoiled Raw Materials:
   • Old, low-grade, or aflatoxin-contaminated groundnuts
   • Bought at throwaway prices
4. Dilution Post Extraction:
   • Mixing leftover oil from the seedcake
   • Chemical solvents or additives to increase quantity
